Both run at 100 mHz ??. If so, the Celeron is faster in most apps.  If 66
mHz for the Celeron, the P2 at 100 would be in throughput.  Cache is faster
on the Celeron as it is a CPU speed, P2 at half speed.

Whoa... most Celerons of that era have *a lot less* cache than PII's...

My money is on the PII being faster, but as somebody else said, if you 
can OC that Celery chip to 133MHz FSB, it would probably win.  Celery 
chips tend to be easier to overclock... likely (I think) to their 
reduced amount of cache.
